a very hasty episode yet a very good one, in one part(hisoka's face) it made burst in laughter and in the last scene i was touched, the potrayal of the characters was magnificent, and that what i love about this series, characters arent either black or white they dwelve in a large gamma of grey, cant wait to see how madhouse keeps adapting this in such a fantastic way.

You weren't the only one. Hisoka's face was pure gold when he realizes Chrolo couldn't use Nen anymore.

My weekly comparison is on hold till Tuesday due to college work. But here's my opinion on the episode and the whole arc.

I really liked today's episode. Paku's death scene with Romi Paku's performance was superb. Hisoka's funny moment was also one of a kind. But what got my attention was Phinks' character and how Madhouse was able to turn such a cruel character to be so sad, and Kenichiro Ohashi's performance made it really incredible and touching. But the episode's main problem was cutting down the scenes at the beginning didn't make it end as an epilogue for Yorknew arc and we got some Greed Island material already which in my opinion would've been better if left for the next episode.

Sadly this is one of those episodes where I want to rage... they managed to put in like 3 episodes in one!

It was way too rushed and Paku's story was not as strong as it was in OVA. It lacked in emotional department and I miss the scene where death slowly crawls towards her. It had massive impact on me in OVA while here it just made me go "meh.

But since I saw OVA I was more like "How dare you cut it out?!" >.<

So yeh... did not like it... at all!

The only highlights for me were Hisoka's face when he realized what is happening.
And last part with Phinks since in comparison to OVA, here he seemed to have more depth as a character.
It also was nice of Hisoka to tell Paku his real Prophecy. It put her to rest knowing that what she did was right.

Looks like it is time for Greed Island arc... sadly I did not like it. Oh well, everything good must end one day. Will have to deal with it for now.

I think Gon said what a lot of people were thinking and I loved that moment because it completely washed away a doubt I had about this show. To be honest when they all started acting indignant towards Uvo's death I was getting really pissed off (as if they have any right to feel indignant after what they've all done and continue to do) and was wondering if the story was really going to humanise these bastards and try and portray them as grey. But it didn't thanks to Gon's outburst. What the show was actually doing was portraying criminals pretty realistically. Because not all criminals are cliché moustache twirling pricks and they will naturally be totally hypocritical about anything bad that happens to them. It reminds me of that "Dogs get put down" scene in Watchmen. So thank you Gon for pointing out their hypocrisy.

Even though it would have made no sense, I wish Kruapika would have got of the blimp, did his Sword of Judgment! again and modify the condition so that Boss could use his Nen but only when fighting Hisoka.

Kurapika's character have clearly benefited from this adaptation. I remember that after a certain period of time, I just couldn't stand Kurapika's character anymore. He always sounded so whiny with his tragic-hero demeanor. While I could understand why it was the case, I just couldn't muster any sympathy toward him. Kurapika was the Sasuke of HxH. For me, this adaptation balanced out Kurapika's character in a sensible way.
